CVE-2022-43168: n/a in n/a
Rukovoditel v3.2.1 was discovered to contain a SQL injection vulnerability via the reports_id parameter.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
CVE-2022-43168 is a critical SQL injection vulnerability identified in Rukovoditel version 3.2.1. Rukovoditel is an open-source project management and business application platform that allows users to create custom applications and manage data. The vulnerability arises from improper sanitization of the 'reports_id' parameter, which is used in SQL queries. An attacker can exploit this flaw by injecting malicious SQL code through the 'reports_id' parameter, enabling unauthorized access to the backend database. This can lead to complete compromise of the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the affected system's data. The CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.8 reflects the high severity, with characteristics including network attack vector (AV:N), low attack complexity (AC:L), no privileges required (PR:N), no user interaction (UI:N), unchanged scope (S:U), and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability (C:H/I:H/A:H). Exploitation does not require authentication or user interaction, making it highly exploitable remotely. Although no known exploits in the wild have been reported, the vulnerability represents a significant risk due to its critical nature and ease of exploitation. The underlying weakness corresponds to CWE-89, which is the classic SQL injection flaw caused by improper input validation and sanitization in database queries. No official patches or vendor advisories were provided in the information, which may indicate that users need to apply manual mitigations or monitor for updates from the Rukovoditel community.
Potential Impact
For European organizations using Rukovoditel 3.2.1, this vulnerability poses a severe threat. Successful exploitation could lead to unauthorized data disclosure, data manipulation, or deletion, potentially disrupting business operations and causing regulatory compliance violations, especially under GDPR requirements for data protection. Confidential business data, user credentials, and other sensitive information stored in the database could be exposed or altered. The availability of the service could also be impacted, leading to downtime and loss of productivity. Given the critical severity and ease of exploitation, attackers could leverage this vulnerability for espionage, sabotage, or ransomware deployment. Organizations in sectors such as finance, healthcare, manufacturing, and government that rely on Rukovoditel for project or data management are particularly at risk. The lack of authentication requirement means that external attackers can attempt exploitation without prior access, increasing the attack surface. Additionally, the absence of known exploits in the wild does not reduce the risk, as public disclosure of the vulnerability may soon lead to exploit development and active attacks.
Mitigation Recommendations
European organizations should immediately assess their use of Rukovoditel and identify any instances running version 3.2.1. Until an official patch is released, the following specific mitigations are recommended: 1) Implement Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to detect and block SQL injection patterns targeting the 'reports_id' parameter. 2) Restrict network access to Rukovoditel instances by limiting exposure to trusted internal networks or VPNs to reduce attack surface. 3) Conduct thorough input validation and sanitization on all user-supplied parameters, especially 'reports_id', by applying parameterized queries or prepared statements if possible. 4) Monitor logs for suspicious database query patterns or repeated failed attempts indicative of injection attempts. 5) Regularly back up databases and application data to enable recovery in case of compromise. 6) Engage with the Rukovoditel community or vendor channels to obtain patches or updates addressing this vulnerability. 7) Educate development and security teams about secure coding practices to prevent similar injection flaws in customizations or future versions. 8) Consider deploying intrusion detection systems (IDS) tuned to detect SQL injection attempts. These targeted actions go beyond generic advice by focusing on the specific vulnerable parameter and the operational context of Rukovoditel deployments.
